This May, I’m taking on the 100 Miles for MediCinema challenge to help bring the power of cinema to NHS patients in hospitals across the UK.

MediCinema builds and runs fully-equipped cinemas in hospitals, offering patients — and their families — a vital escape from the wards.

These screenings reduce stress, ease anxiety, and boost mental health.

Patients and families say

93% agree that MediCinema experience reduces stress and anxiety.

94% agree the MediCinema experience helps people feel less isolated.

91% of attendees agree that MediCinema helps patients to cope, and supports their mental health.

They’re completely free for patients and come at no cost to the NHS, but with no government funding, MediCinema relies entirely on donations.

I’ll be walking/wheeling/moving 100 miles over the month to help raise funds and awareness.

Please support me if you can — your donation will help patients #FeelBetterWithFilm and bring comfort when it's needed most.
